DREAM MACHINES: ELECTRONIC MUSIC BOOK EVENT

We’d like to welcome you to Beam Editions for this FREE event devoted to the history of electronic music in Britain.
Matthew Collin’s new book Dream Machines is an expansive and illuminating history of electronic music in the UK, told with passionate enthusiasm by the critically-acclaimed author of Altered State and Rave On.
Dream Machines tracks the music’s evolution from early avant-garde experiments through psychedelia, art-rock and synth-pop to electro, dub, sampling and acid house.
This event will be a lively discussion with Matthew Collin and Justin Turford (Truth and Lies Music) plus Kamal Joory (Geiom) and Alex Herington (Hexial).
Come down and enjoy the debate!
Praise for Dream Machines:
'Matthew’s obvious love for music, insight and meticulous research reflects the passion and fervour of those involved with the evolution of electronic music. A must-read for anyone interested in the influence and benefits of technology on music.' Cosey Fanni Tutti (Chris & Cosey/Throbbing Gristle)
'A paean to all the originators and early adopters of electronic music … An incredibly rich and forensically researched history, exquisitely detailed and voiced by the many characters who comprise it.' Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire)
'A perceptive and highly entertaining breakdown of the crucial development of some of the most innovative music of my dreams. I couldn’t put it down!' Martyn Ware (Heaven 17)
'With ‘Dream Machines’, Matthew Collin embarks on ‘the quest for the extraordinary’… an essential book.' DJ Paulette
